Rustenburg notes on cylinders, safety & special gases
Contractors on the platinum belt rent oxygen, acetylene and argon mixes from industrial gas suppliers near the Rustenburg industrial area and Mooinooi, and should chain cylinders upright and fit flashback arrestors. Warehouses and engineering yards along the N4 and in Kroondal run LPG forklifts on an exchange cage. Cylinder theft from yards in Boitekong and Marikana is a concern, so ask about lockable, ventilated cages bolted to a slab.
Rustenburg: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Rustenburg sits on the platinum belt at the foot of the Magaliesberg, and gas use follows the mines. Engineering contractors, boilermakers and fitting shops in the Rustenburg industrial area and towards Mooinooi rent welding and cutting gases, and many workshops run LPG forklifts. At home, families in Safari Gardens, Cashan and Tlhabane cook on gas and heat water with tankless geysers, and rented rooms near the shafts in Boitekong and Marikana often run a 2 plate stove on a 9 kg. LPG arrives by road along the N4 to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores. Winters are cold and dry, so ventilate indoor heaters, and keep cylinders out of the strong summer sun.
